The slate on my GC IV looks a bit dingy. Darker in the playing field vs the slate under the rails which I'm assuming is from the lighting, but seems weird. I have wiped it down a few times with a damp cloth during assembly but wondering if a scrubbing with soap and water is recommended to clean...

Both. The levelers on the outer parameter contact the MDF under the slate. The center levelers contact the slate directly.

I remember that conversation, totally makes sense now.

That's a Oneway Multi Gauge, made in Canada. The dial indicator that's included is on the cheap side but fine for stuff like this. For precise setups of say power machine tools I attach my Mitutoyo electronic indicator instead. That large flap tip is nice though I'll unscrew it and put it on the...

Adjusting slate flat was about to get on my last nerve so I have gone full machinist tools on it, I got you now mother. 💪 Slate screws pulling down out of flat was the main issue. The dial indicator lets me monitor as I tighten the slate screw that it doesn't overshoot and remains neutral with...

EXPLODED view of my GC IV. Drove a couple hours north with a 6x12 Uhaul trailer when I bought this. My buddy and I went Nascar pit crew on it with wrenches, a cordless impact driver and cordless drill, and rubber mallet and had it apart in 20 minutes. I cut the cloth off and pulled the staples...

Hmmm...two 8 ball round padded round ball holders...toss them on my dual drum rock tumbler overnight...✍️📐✏️

3 and the life size batman, own that.

No fair using the force.

I didn't find it funny. My thread go joke in your thread.

RKC has been super helpful on my project and generous with his time so please take this to another thread.

Nope, had the patio door and big dining room window open with a fan on full blast ventilating. If I want to huff something it won't be acetone.

The 48 inch Starrett straight edge arrived today!

Klean Strip Premium confirmed, let set for 8 minutes and it obliterates the contact cement. Scrape off, then wipe off excess, then wipe down with Acetone, then a final wipe down with a wet sponge and water. 5x faster and 1/10th the physical effort.

Update: After many hours of effort and barely half way through I tried something else. Klean Strip Premium which removes epoxy and urethane paint. Oh yeah brush on and it turns the contact cement to goo in 15-20 minutes. Scrape off with a putty knife and wipe down WAY faster.

Acetone, and old wash cloth and a truck load of scrubbing its very slow going. About 45 minutes per edge.

The contact cement removal battle has begun. Before with the cement and cloth fuzzies After

One of my favorite US coins the Mercury dime.

Speaking of women, my buddy took a video of a woman at our local pool hall practicing her 9 ball breaks...HOLY CRAP she breaks hard with her whole body slammed into the break CRACK!! She's got the men completely intimidated. 😂

Here's a recent leveling observation from my GC IV...and the slate wasn't even installed yet just leveling the frame. Using a Starrett No 199 machinist level. Leveled the frame and noticed walking away the level changed depending on where I was standing. That's on a 3/4 inch thick Oak tongue and...
